Title: finally got the wileyco on
Post by: rclz on August 20, 2005, 03:54:03 PM
I got the wileyco to fit but look how retarded my relief pocket looks.

Title: Why

Why does the pipe change diameter right under the brake lever ... I thought it was further forward on the 04 ... or is it some optical illusion ...
Cool.

Holy big pic, Batman...

That's not how mine looks.  Did you bend the flange?  Or pop a dimple in it?  The brake lever looks closer than it is on mine, like it's twisted inwards.

Title: check

Ok someone go and check their bike ... preferably an 04 - ... in the un braked position ... does the rear brake lever hit the under side of the foot peg fitting ... I remember mine as hitting that ... which might expain rclz's troubles.
Cool.
Srinath.

Mine's an '04, and the clearance was a lot like Blazin's.

Heated it up with a torch and smacked it with a wrench.

I thought you might have used a BFH.

Your brake levers are lower than mine ... mine is way up by the foot peg ... hits it ...
Cool.
